The Nissan Silvia is the name given to the company's long-running line of sport coupes based on the Nissan S platform. Although recent models have shared this chassis with other vehicles produced by Nissan (most notably the European 200SX and North American 240SX in the S13 and S14 generations, and 180SX in the Japanese market), the name Silvia is not interchangeable with the chassis codes.
Nissan is recalling 4,038 2010 model year Pathfinder and Xterra SUVs as well as Frontier small pickups due to faulty fasteners in the airbag module and steering shaft. These two separate areas can lead to two different issues.
In the event of a crash, the front passenger airbag could deploy incorrectly. The fasteners in the steering column could come loose during driving and increase the risk of a crash.
Nissan will begin alerting customers in April. Owners can contact Nissan at 800-647-7261 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s hot line at 888-327-4236.
009 Nissan Murano SL AWD ($29,480).
Options: Premium package ($1,000).
Price as tested (including $745 destination charge): $31,245.
When Nissan introduced the Murano in 2003, there wasn't anything else quite like it.
Aside from being one of the first mid-size crossovers, the Murano was shaped like an egg and drove more like a roller skate than an SUV. It was a winning formula that proved to be ahead of its time as fewer people wanted to drive traditional SUVs and more people said, "I want to drive an egg-shaped roller skate!"
The Nissan Skyline (スカイライン in Japanese) is a line of compact cars originally produced by the Japanese carmaker Prince Motor Company starting in 1957 and subsequently by Nissan after the two companies merged in 1966. It is currently available in either coupé, or sedan body styles, with the wagon form being dropped in 1989 with the introduction of the R32 platform.
Iterations R30 to R34 of the Skyline are still popular tuner cars for Japanese car enthusiasts from the 1980s to today, especially with available features such as straight-6 engines, turbochargers, and the high-performance GT-R trim.[1] While not distributed in the United States, the Skyline's prominence in video games, movies and magazines resulted in many such cars being imported there from 1999 to late 2005, after Motorex petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to allow 1990-1999 GT-Rs and GTSs to be imported, at the condition that they were modified to meet United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
For more than 15 years, the Nissan Altima has provided families with a practical sedan that can hold up to five passengers. The 2010 Nissan Altima continues the tradition, offering great value for your money. The 2010 Altima is offered in sedan, coupe, and hybrid models, and should be offered for sale to the general public this fall. The Altima hybrid will only be for sale in California, Oregon, and other states with higher emissions standards.
Nissan's sedans — the Maxima, Altima, Sentra and Versa — have been mildly updated for 2010, each sporting revised front styling that helps the cars look fresh and a smattering of welcome content and quality improvements inside the cars. And although the Versa has been the big seller of late (some 18,000 were sold in August alone, thanks to the government's "Cash for Clunkers" program), the bread-and-butter Nissan remains the Altima, the global volume leader that competes with the likes of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
NEW YORK -- Nissan Motor Co. said Monday it is pulling out of the Detroit and Chicago auto shows, citing the tough economy and the lack of new vehicles to unveil.
"Based on the fact that we have no major new products to show at the 2009 Detroit and Chicago auto shows, as well as the current economic conditions which will impact the shows' marketing effectiveness, we have decided to cancel our involvement and participation," the No. 3 Japanese automaker said in a statement.
The Nissan Quest is a minivan manufactured since 1993 by Nissan, now in its third generation. The first two generations of the Quest were a joint venture with Ford, which marketed a rebadged variant as the Mercury Villager. The vans debuted at the 1992 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Both vehicles were initially powered by the 3.0 L Nissan VG30E V6 until 1999, when the Quest received the 3.3 L version of the same engine. The Quest was completely redesigned for 2004, while the Villager was discontinued and replaced with the Freestar-based Mercury Monterey. The current model is built on the FF-L platform, which it shares with the Altima, Maxima, and Murano. It also shares the award-winning 3.5 L VQ engine with those cars.
